An Overview on Radar-communication Integration of Waveform

Integration of radar and communication has played an increasingly important role in the military and civilian fields for decades. Its essence is to realize radar and communication functions on a unified hardware platform. The respective development trends of radar waveforms, communication waveforms and integrated waveforms are presented in this paper. The state-of-the-art of SSPARC project is also discussed. Compared to previous summaries, this paper reviews the entire trends that drive the development of integrated radar communication design, providing references for further improving related concepts and research in this field and applying to appropriate scenarios.
